How many miles? Last time a tune-up was done? What is the code?
Need a brief history. A lot of variables can cause low fuel mileage

I had my mechanic put a brand new motor in it. Um before I was getting 13 miles to the gallon. But when I got my truck back the check engine light was on. He wouldn't fix it so I just took it. I don't know the codes I need to find that out. It has the new block he just put everything else on it from the other block.

Pull the code. That'll give a baseline as to what it could be. Any strange symptoms, truck doing anything weird?
I would've slapped him around until he fixed it though...

Sometimes it takes awhile to pick up. But it's rare it doesn't happen often. Yeah I was pretty pissed but this guy didn't even know English and it took him about 3 weeks before he even finished the truck. I wasn't gonna wait even longer for this guy to fix something else he said it would be done in 4 days it took him 3weeks 😅

This CEL, is it a constant? Or does it flash? Even if it doesn't show up, it should be stored

Not to question your judgement, but why did you take it to him in the first place?
